Are there any books about nihilism and overcoming nihilism in a practical way?

I'm into my late 30s now, no partner, no kids and realistically little prospect of having them. That's all fine, but I also am reminded on a daily basis now that I only have this one life, but rather than spur me to action it instead causes me to feel indifference towards life. Sometimes I daydream about doing something challenging, like living off-grid or whatever, but almost immediately it seems like a distraction at best.

I will never understand how egotistical you'd have to be to acknowledge atheism and still desire to bring life into this world.

lots of people are saying Camus and Jung. I will also say Camus and Jung, particularly Myth of Sisyphus and Undiscovered Self/Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams

I'd say Nietzsche but there's a 99% chance you will misunderstand him as everyone does, so I will go with Kierkegaard instead, of course you won't read either.

The reason you do nothing is because you're afraid, even if you don't realize it. This is especially true if you've done nothing for a long time because it means acknowledging you've made a tremendous error, almost no one face this, you don't realize it because you don't want to.

can face*

Camus posters itt are probably more apt, he's the more accessible variant of the same idea, that god and freedom are basically the same thing and largely internal and expressed as open acceptance and honest confrontation of the external.
